Surveying the development and growth of thai paper flowerscion (Bougainvillea spp.) with red, orange, pink plants colors grafted on the original paper rootstock

Abstract

Investigating the growth and development of Thai paper flowerscion (Bougainvillea spp.) with red, orange and pink colors on the original paper rootstock is performed to determine which graft is suitable, beautiful in color, and brings the highest economic efficiency. The study consisted of 1 experiment arranged at random with 4 treatments (non-grafted control, red Thai paper flowerscion grafted, orange Thai paper flowers eyes grafted and pink Thai paper flower eyes grafted) with 4 times repeated. Experimental results showed that the grafted flowerscion with an orange Thai paper flower had a higher survival rate (81.88 %) in the length of the grafted flowerscions (6.23 cm) and the diameter of the grafted eyes (0.28 cm) higher than that of the other grafted eyes; The red Thai paper flower graft obtained the highest number of leaves (11.45 leaves) after 50 days of grafting.
